Chapter 221: 221, tempting the snake out of its hole, counts as success
She was a scaredy-cat and afraid of death. Given the choice between warming the bed and risk being annihilated, she would always choose the former, especially since the person for whom she was warming the bed was Shi Yuhuan. She had already warmed his bed countless times.
One more time wouldn’t make any difference. 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
Song Qinghuan quickly grabbed her pajamas and headed for the bathroom. As the bathroom door closed behind her, Shi Yuhuan’s dark eyes chilled instantly, a bloodthirsty murderous intent settling within.
It seems that the person had finally made their move. But, who could it be?
Shi Yuhuan exited the room and reached for his mobile phone at the front door.
He launched a system on his phone, a surveillance system. A shadowy figure was seen lurking in and out of the villa on the screen. The evening was too dark and the figure was cloaked in black attire and a black mask. Hence, his appearance couldn’t be discerned from the video footage.
Apparently, the person had done their homework well in advance, knowing there were surveillance cameras installed all over the villa.
Shi Yuhuan snipped the surveillance video clip and sent it to Li Chengyun.
After successfully sending the clip, he dialed Li Chengyun’s number, urging him to retrieve the traffic surveillance footage from the past thirty minutes of the villa community, specifically looking for anyone entering or leaving the area during this timeframe.
He suspected that the person who came this time was targeting Song Qinghuan and it was very likely on account of Yan Pingdan.
After hanging up, Shi Yuhuan’s eyes, filled with murderous intent and chilliness, suddenly gleamed with a sharp light!
His trap seemed to have worked.
As he pondered, he suddenly heard a scream from within the house. It was Song Qinghuan’s voice.
Shi Yuhuan was startled. He had not checked the bathroom attached to the bedroom when he entered. Had he overlooked something…?
He rushed in and tried to push the bathroom door open, but it was locked!
In his haste, Shi Yuhuan didn’t think twice. He lifted his leg and kicked the door open.
*-*
After entering the bathroom, Song Qinghuan first washed her face in front of the vanity mirror to calm her panicked heart with some cold water.
After a few deep breaths, she took off her clothes, ready to shower.
Except for weekends when she had sufficient time, Song Qinghuan always took showers, just like today. Turning on the showerhead, she stood under it when the water was warm enough.
With the water pouring down, her vision became blurred, but her cold body began to warm up.
Upon looking down through the veil of water, she noticed something red, almost terrifying, in the bathtub.
Song Qinghuan scraped the water off her face, turned off the shower, and bent over to take a closer look in the tub.
She wished she hadn’t. What she saw scared her into screaming.
At that moment, she was completely bare.
When Shi Yuhuan pushed the door open, he was greeted with such a provocative scene.
Song Qinghuan was equally scared, her face blushing instantly. With a mix of surprise and embarrassment, she screamed, “Ah!”
She reflexively reached out to grab a towel to cover her naked body, but in her haste, she slipped and lunged forward.
Her head hit the edge of the sink, causing her to see stars.
Her tender forehead skin was grazed by the edge of the sink, causing a thin stream of blood to ooze out.
All the items on the sink fell to the floor due to her hand, creating a noisy clatter.
Shi Yuhuan walked over, picked her up while wrapping a towel around her at the same time, and then carried her out.
His actions were swift.
The next second, he had already lifted her horizontally, exited the bathroom, and laid her on the bed in the bedroom.
